 Adjusting the buffer size
In the same way as the setting of [Buffer Size], decreasing the value of the [Kernel
Buffers] setting lowers the transfer delay (latency) of the audio data, while increas-
ing the value reduces the tendency for dropouts (breaks in the sound) to occur in
the audio data (the default setting of [Buffer Size] is 256 samples/5 ms and [Kernel
Buffers] is [3]).
! If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops in the data
(breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time lag due to transmis-
sion delays in the audio data (latency) increases.
 If breaks in the sound occur with the default setting
1 Launch [DDJ_RX ASIO Settings Utility] and change [Kernel
Buffers] to [4].
2 Set to the minimum [Buffer Size], with which breaks in the
sound do not occur.
 If no breaks in the sound occur with the default setting
1 Launch [DDJ_RX ASIO Settings Utility] to set to the
minimum [Buffer Size], with which breaks in the sound do not
occur.
2 Change [Kernel Buffers] to [2], and check that no breaks
occur in the sound.
3 If no breaks occur in the sound, set to the minimum [Buffer
Size]. If breaks do occur in the sound, change [Kernel Buffers]
to [3].
